The irony in your comment is that I recommend Drew's book in the primer, and Drew has recommended this primer as well.

Maybe they're both good ways to learn Vim.

Then title it "Vim Primer," which is accurate.

This is hardly a primer. If somebody is using the motions and actions described in the article they may not be a complete wizard in obscure vim features, but they are certainly far beyond being merely "primed" to use vim. I've been an avid vim proponent for years and I still picked up new things from this article.
